Perhaps a really dumb question but I recently got a phone number with the digits 666 in it. Like who cares.. right? Well, I've been told I need to change it because it's the devils number. ... Are people in the US really that superstitious?
This seem so ridiculous. This is a joke? No?

In fact, I do have a number with tre sixes, and the calls I get are typically for places of virgin sacrifice, and spaces with zero ac requirements.

hahaha, just throw the "health and safety" licensing bs out the window and specialize in a niche market, like designing stage sets for these guys - problem solved!

It's not a dumb question at all.
I was on the phone with the phone company to get a new land line. They give you a choice of numbers, usually. I pause as if I'm deciding, when I'm actually seeing if I can make an acronym from them, like "WHATS UP" or something people can remember. In the course of the conversation, the woman told me that customers are asked if they mind having 666 in their phone number. It's interesting that a parish I dislike has a phone number that ends in 666.

I once brought something at a store and the exact change was $6.66. It shocked both me and the cashier then we just laughed about it, but mine was an evil laugh muhahah...

I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of "Admin." The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.
